Currently, I am preparing materials, seeking good resources and books, connecting w/ several companies that offer anti-port software, all for a “FORUM” that we want to host on Pornography.

Today, I came across this article posted on Covenant Eye’s website (it is one of the companies we hope to introduce to participants – teens, adults, and parents – that offers great software to block porn. Here is the link to this article on their website, written by Jason George: http://www.covenanteyes.com/2013/05/29/33-reasons-to-abstain-from-porn/).

Look for more posts on this subject, as we prepare for the FORUM.
